Women are made of water.

Young Kara was no exception.

Although she was a Kryptonian, her experiences made her more mature than her peers, but even so, she was still a little girl.

What happened tonight had pushed her psychological defenses to their limit.

On Krypton, she had received an aristocratic education. House of El was a prominent Kryptonian family, and unlike House of Zod, their genes were inherently suited for scientists.

As everyone knows, Krypton had abolished natural birth, using the Codex of Life to cultivate beings directly from Kryptonian genes.

This resulted in a predetermined outcome: a person's profession and talent were decided from the moment of conception.

If Kara had been from House of Zod, killing someone would have caused no discomfort.

But she was of House of El's genes...

After arriving on Earth, Li Ang had always protected Kara, shielding her from too much darkness.

But unfortunately, this was Gotham.

"Godfather! I killed him! I pierced him right through!"

"I didn't mean to, I couldn't control it!"

Kara blamed herself in Li Ang's arms.

She was scared.

Killing was against the law.

When Li Ang heard her words, he felt a sense of relief.

Fear of the law prevented one from acting unscrupulously.

Of course, Superman was a superhero rather than a villain mainly due to his own morals.

After all, it would be too easy for them to trample on the law.

So, Li Ang pondered for a moment, waiting for Kara to stop crying.

Everyone needed to vent, and after this bout of crying, Kara felt much better.

It was just the gazes of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy beside her that made her feel a little embarrassed.

The surprised looks on their faces made Kara wish she could dig a hole and disappear.

Harley Quinn, in particular, had a look of sudden realization, thinking, no wonder they were father and daughter.

"Kara."

Li Ang straightened Kara's small face, making her look him in the eyes.

In the dim light, Kara's small face was streaked with tears.

This made Li Ang's heart ache as he wiped away her tears, making Harley Quinn beside them jealous.

Her own face was tear-streaked just moments ago, but Li Ang hadn't even glanced at her!

As expected, his daughter was the most important to him!

"Tell me exactly what happened?"

"Godfather, I... I just felt my eyes itching tonight."

Kara tried to lower her head, but Li Ang held her face.

Li Ang clearly saw that Kara's eyes were a little 'dry,' obviously a side effect of using heat vision for the first time, as her eyes weren't accustomed to it yet.

When Li Ang had extracted Kara's abilities before, he had also considered heat vision.

Thinking about it now, he felt a lingering fear.

Kara's physical condition was such that even the first use had such obvious sequelae.

If he, an ordinary person, had gained heat vision... his eyes would likely be gone after just one use.

Indeed, physical fitness was the foundation of everything.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Li Ang's tone immediately turned serious.

Hearing this, Kara pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "You went to work!"

"Alright, and then?"

Li Ang then performed a head pat.

In China, a head pat was considered disrespectful.

But in America, it represented intimacy.

Only those closest to you would do such a thing.

Kara, like a docile kitten, felt her heart calm down quickly.

"And then..."

Kara recounted what had happened.

Li Ang immediately said, "Alright, you've eliminated an evil for the people. What else is there to worry about?"

"But Spider-Man never kills."

Kara said softly.

Li Ang understood immediately. So that was it.

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy beside them were a bit confused.

But seeing Kara relax, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ivy, you should go first."

Harley Quinn said to Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy realized what was about to happen.

Late at night, and it was a family of three... it really wasn't appropriate for an outsider like her to stay.

However, Poison Ivy was slightly unwilling.

She finally understood why Harley Quinn was so invested. It turned out there were so many benefits to becoming Li Ang's woman.

If she became Li Ang's woman, wouldn't she be Kara's godmother?

She could absolutely walk all over Gotham then!

But unfortunately, Harley Quinn had already seized the initiative.

Now Harley Quinn was her best friend, but what if that changed one day?

Poison Ivy, Pamela, thought about this while also wondering how to leave Li Ang's house.

"With Harley's personality, she'll always cause trouble."

"Li Ang definitely won't keep her. He almost kicked her out today."

"There's still a chance for me!"

Poison Ivy's mood immediately relaxed.

Li Ang didn't pay attention to Poison Ivy's departure and continued talking to Kara.

"Spider-Man doesn't kill, but look, those villains get caught, escape, commit crimes, and get caught again. It's all for plot convenience."

As a new generation, Li Ang's educational philosophy was naturally not so rigid.

In his previous life, he had seen Shaobing Bro on the internet.

Shaobing Bro played games with his son and put immense pressure on him, ultimately leading his son to love reading more than gaming.

He looked troubled while playing games but smiled brightly while reading...

Phrases like "At home, we talk about battle records; at school, we talk about grades."

And "If you can't even get into A University, how can you aim for Tsinghua or Peking University?"

He was truly a source of golden sentences.

In Li Ang's opinion, this was the correct way to educate.

Now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't stifle Kara's hobby and was willing to communicate with her intimately.

"Plot convenience?"

Kara blinked.

"Yes, think about it. Gotham is like this now. Batman never kills. These supervillains go into Arkham Asylum and then get released. Has Gotham ever gotten better?"

"This only makes supercriminals act unscrupulously. Since Batman won't kill them, what else wouldn't they dare to do?"

Hearing Li Ang's words, Kara fell into thought.

"For example, Harley. If Batman killed people, would she dare to be so arrogant? She probably wouldn't dare to be Harley Quinn anymore and would be a normal person instead."

Seeing both father and daughter looking at her, Harley Quinn subconsciously puffed out her chest.

"Hey!"

Hearing Li Ang's words, Harley Quinn immediately became defiant.

"Tell me, if Batman killed other villains, like the Joker, the Penguin, the Scarecrow, would you still dare to be Harley Quinn?"

Li Ang asked directly.

Harley Quinn's eyes lit up upon hearing about killing the Joker. "Great, great! Kill that bastard Joker."

This made Li Ang's forehead crease. This person was truly not right in the head.

"I'm talking about serious business!"

"Of course, I'd still be Harley Quinn!"

Harley Quinn huffed, "But I would leave Gotham."

People, after all, should prioritize their own feelings.

Why would Batman stay in Gotham if he's so scary?

Couldn't he go be Harley Quinn somewhere else?

"Look."

Li Ang said to Kara, "So, Kara, you don't have to completely imitate Spider-Man. That's just for the screenwriter to make the comics look good. You need to look at reality."

"I understand."

Kara looked thoughtful and felt very encouraged.
